SBM Offshore Wins Turret Mooring System Contract

Dutch company SBM Offshore has received a contract from Technip for the engineering, procurement, construction and integration (EPCI) of a turret mooring system.

Shell Development (Australia) will deploy the turret mooring system in the world's first floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility at the Prelude gas field off Australia's north-west coast.

The turret mooring system, which will permanently anchor the floating facility at its offshore location and allow it to weathervane, will be the largest SBM Offshore has ever designed and built.
